40 Funny Quotes By Musicians

40 Funny Quotes by Musicians (because we’re all a little weird)

As many of you know, I frequently post inspiring or funny musician quotes on our Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Google+ pages. Since there aren’t many good sources to find all of these gems in one convenient place, I’ve decided to compile 40 of my favorites in this post. Feel free to add some more in the comment section below too…I’m always hunting for new ones. So, here we go…

“All music is folk music. I ain’t never heard a horse sing a song.”
― Louis Armstrong

“I’m sick to death of people saying we’ve made 11 albums that sound exactly the same. In fact, we’ve made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.”
― Angus Young (AC/DC)

“All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.”
― Frank Zappa

“After I saw Jimmy [Hendrix] play, I just went home and wondered what the f*** I was going to do with my life.”
― Jeff Beck

“Money doesn’t talk, it swears.”

“Actually I don’t remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.”

“I don’t deserve a Songwriters Hall of Fame Award. But fifteen years ago, I had a brain operation and I didn’t deserve that, either. So I’ll keep it!”

So, there you have it…I hope you enjoyed these pearls of wisdom…lol. At the very least, you’re now armed with some random small talk at your next gig or party! But I’d like to end with one last quote which didn’t make the list above. I know…some of you may now consider this to be a post of 41 quotes and I truly apologize for misleading you with the title…my bad.
